Great place to stop at in warmer weather, bathroom break for you or your furry friends, hip in the river for a quick refreshing cool down, bring a picnic basket with no fears of Yogi the bear trying to steal it! Or just relax by the river and enjoy the view for a spell! Boat launch and parking available!

There was a creepy host who could not seem to understand why I was upset about her young children romping around in my campsite. Serious boundary violation. She seems to be a charity case rather than a responsible adult. I will NOT be back. Ever.

A great place to relax next to the river. Unfortunately, the Army Corps of Engineers, when they removed trees and rip rapped the bank didnt do any favors to those who like to stay at the park. They could have at least made a access points along the rivers edge where the RVs park. Its a bit dodgy getting to the water at this point.

We loved it so much we stayed twice. Once on our way to Washington and once on the way back to Arizona. Hosts amd Mamagers were incredible. Place was very clean. Views were incredible. You can hear some highway noise but we can sleep through that. I really can't think of anything negative. We would definitely stay again if we take another PNW road trip. Thanks for the great hospitality!

The people at the front gate was really helpful, friendly and informative. The park was clean and the restrooms/showers were clean and well stocked. There was a train track nearby but it wasn't that bad noise wise. In fact, it kinda was calming to hear.

I have stayed at LePage Park a half dozen times in the last few years. I enjoy the Park. It is always a relaxful time. The Park is neat and clean.

Lots of highway noise day and night. And we picked a very very hot night to stay there (we have no A/C). Otherwise the campground is very nicely situated on the John Day River right before it goes into the Columbia. Scenery is gorgeous and good wildlife viewing. Very handy off the interstate.

This was a great place to stop for the night. I would’ve enjoyed a couple of days here. Love the army court of engineers they have the best parks

This is a good park close to the Columbia River, John Day Dam, and the Maryhill Museum. It sits at near the mouth of the John Day river where it enters the Columbia. It’s well run and clean. As the campground has pit toilets, the only place to shower is in the day use area bathroom. The showers were not clean, and the doors were propped open, so there was no privacy. We chose not to use them.

The park has gone downhill during the past few years. Case in point, the restrooms used to be spotless; now they need a freshening up and a good cleaning.
